Fantastic zoo/nature center focused on native NH species - black bear, bobcat, otters, mountain lion, fox, hawks, and more. Interactive exhibits throughout with fun games and quizzes for kids, who will learn a bunch as you go. If you move fast between exhibits you might be able to do it in an hour, but plan for more like 2-3 hours. Makes a great day trip when combined with Rattlesnake trail hike.

I just love this place! It is slightly off the beaten path but easy to locate. Plan on spending a couple of hours here to learn about the local wildlife habits , habitat, and food. And , best of all, meet that local wild life in its natural setting.! This business is part of the membership chain of regional zoos and science museums so honors your membership to others around the country for free admission or reduced cost admission to here. I would plan on at least 2-3 hours here although it could be covered (without small children in a bit over an hour). Walk ways are generally paved and handicapped accessible as are the buildings that are dedicated to species or habitat education.

Something to do in every season for everyone who has an interest in Wildlife and Nature. We've been to the Raptor Spectacular day in September and the Winter Walk in January. Both were excellent value for money.

Beautiful trails to hike, wonderful natural habitats for the animals! Love to spend time there; it's always so peaceful. Love the Howling Coyote gift shop, too!

Great place to bring the kids. I just wished the bear and mountain lions had more space in their habitats
